The Importance of Keeping Safe the Survivors and Children in Situations of Intimate Partner Violence
Intimate partner violence presents many challenges to all state actors who intersect with perpetrators and their victims and those closely associated with them. In addition to families becoming involved in several divisions of the court simultaneously, there is also the possibility of co-occurring challenges of mental health and substance abuse. These potential co-occurring issues increase the difficulties of working with the population of offenders and victims.
